Attention Seniors!

I wanted to pass along some information about the senior class gift/medallion program that is being offered through the Alumni Relations Office. I have attached a flyer as well as a quick-question and answer sheet that provides all of the details on the program.

AITP SPEAKER

Geissler Golding has risen through the ranks at UWF to a position as a senior technical manager. He has an ideal combination of skills combining great technical capability with a highly effective ability to manage the work of others. He will talk about how his career has evolved from entry-level to where he is now, and he will discuss the rapidly-evolving nature of the work he performs. He will encourage an interactive discussion in which he hopes to gain feedback on the IT infrastructure at UWF.

2. The C Programming competition is meant to foster interest in the ACM competition hosted by UWF in October of each year.

Please sign up for the competition that interests you by contacting Andrew Haynes (ach31@students.uwf.edu) to let him know that you are interested.

Come join us Friday, January 23rd, as UWF participates in the AFCEA Cyberthon '15‌ competition at the National Flight Academy. Volunteers from the DoD Cyber operations and training commands have agreed to mentor and participate in this event intended to generate interest in cybersecurity.

Cyber experts are needed to fulfill critical cyber missions in both the military and private sectors, so by partnering as a community, and involving students, a cyber-skilled work-force pipeline can be developed for and encouraged to enter the local high-demand cybersecurity career field. According to Pensacola Today, "More than 2,150 middle and high-school student teams are registered for the national competition this year."

More information can be found here AFCEA Cyberthon, interested viewers can also follow the CyberThon event on Facebook.

The Department of Computer Science hosted the 2014 ACM Southeast USA regional programming contest on Saturday, 15 Nov 2014. UWF was one of three sites hosting the contest in our region of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. The practice round will be between 11am and noon EST, the contest from 1:30pm to 6:30pm EST.
